I'm trying to hunt down a 4 man soft top/door kit. I found a NOS kit dated 2009 that is in clean original packaging. I also understand that the company making the new ones (Breton) went out of business recently but there is a new manufacturer picking up that business. It sounds like it will...

Thanks. Yes, that looks like the full kit with top/doors/curtain/bows/c pillar, etc. They seem to have gone from ~$2500 to over $3k in the last month due to supply. I'm wondering if that's the new market price or if things will eventually drop back down. I'm not in any hurry, but there are a...

Yeah, that's about what I'm budgeting. I think it wlll end up closer to the 5k mark or more. But I still think it's a better path compared to buying a 4 door right now. I bid on a 4 door this week and didn't get it. It went for 15,100. It was a nice truck, but the top and doors were trash...

Thanks. I think I have a line on a soft top kit that includes the c pillar, rails, bows, top, doors, etc., just trying to understand the details of what else is needed. I've seen a "seat belt kit" that has a bunch of panels and stuff that I don't really understand what the panels are for. I...

Assuming I already have a 4 man soft top kit (top, c pillar, bows, doors, etc. ) , what all is need to make a basic 2 man m1123 into a 4 man? Seats, seat belts and hardware/mounts, seat bases?, etc.? Anywhere I can find a listing of parts needed? Here is the truck if it helps...

I'm having it shipped. It's 1000+ miles away and I wouldn't drive it any distance until draining old fuel and sorting things out. There is a recent youtube video with a guy who tried to drive his auction hmmwv home 1500 miles. It was a pretty rough looking truck, but he actually made it...

Thanks. Good info there, looks like 2+ months is the norm, hopefully I'll squeeze in before the holidays before everything slows to a crawl.

Thanks. Yeah, it sounds like it's a simple process to register as a formar military vehicle in TX with the SF97, but there are some pretty tight restrictions on that type of registration (only allowed on road for parades, club events, etc.). I'm sure it's one of those things that isn't really...

I just won an auction yesterday and filled out EUC form and paid. Their site says 6-10 weeks for approval, but I think I've seen others say that's optimistic. Any idea how long EUC's are currently taking for a first time submission right now? I think I've seen some people say up to 6 months...

I don't know much about these miltary batteries. If mine has the original batteries from the 2009 refurb (which I assume it does), is there any chance they are usable? I know normal batteries can last that long if they are maintained, but not more than a few years if left to drain (unless they...

I agree that they should take a pic of the battery compartment, but you can't tell them much about a battery by a pic in most situations. New looking batteries can be shot and old loooking batteries can be great. I assume most of these trucks have been sitting untouched for years, so chances...

one of the trucks I was bidding on yesterday actually had a pic of the batteris (see below). I think It's the only battery pic I've seen across over 100 I looked at. They really should include pics of this area, but it's probably not a selling point for most trucks (so of course they wouldn't...

Congrats on yours. Yep, there were 3 almost identical 09 rebuilds that went today. Basic 2 doors w no roofs or doors and no miles since rebuild. Several last week also. There is one more scheduled for next week. They all seem to be going right around $10k. No flashy stuff, but I like that...

Yep. I'm far from an expert, but I reviewed a bunch of past sales and I figured that truck would go well into the 20's. I put my token bid in at ~$16k knowing I had no shot. I was floored to see it go for 35k. All it takes is 2 people with deep pockets who see something they want and aren't...

Thanks for feedback. I talked to a guy at GP about the title and he said they could title it, but not in TX for me. Are you saying it's still worth getting a title from GP to make it easier to get it for TX? Where would they title it if not in TX? I probably should have pressed him on it...

Mine looks pretty decent (I hope) and went for $9700. The one that went for $35k was a 4 man 2014 rebuild with a pretty solid looking top and doors (but all canvas). Pic of mine: pic of the $35k one below. It's a nice truck, but I bet I can get mine pretty nice and it won't cost me...

I ended up with the winning bid on a basic 2 door with no top. 2009 barstow rebuild. It's got a few known issues (heater not working, missing wipers, possible leak on transfer case). Hopefully nothing major. My plan is to go soft top and soft doors, probably 4 door. Link below. If anyone...

I just won and auction on my first HMMWV today on govplanet and ended up with a really basic 2dr with no top. One of the 4 door soft top M1123's I was watching went for $35k. Nuts.

Thanks for the responses. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on that truck. It's a really basic 2 door w/ no roof, but hopefully a good base to build on. Rebuild from 2009. https://www.govplanet.com/jsp/s/item/4206782?h=6-22

There are a couple other basically identical trucks that seem to have a similar issue. All 3 trucks claim very low miles and were rebuilt in barstow about the same time in 09. Here's a pic of one of the other trucks (which does have a reported fuel leak). One other interesting things is...
